Velociraptor mongoliensis 1/6 Scale Dinosaur Figure
(swift robber)- The one we all know and love from the movies- or is it? Though the real Velociraptor was very different from its movie star counterpart, it was no less fierce and dangerous. It used to inhabit an arid desert climate in a part of the world that is now Mongolia. Velociraptor can be distinguished from other dromaeosaurids by its long and low skull, an upturned snout. And let's not forget about that terrible toe claw!
Each deluxe raptor figure is approximately 12? long x 5? tall has 26 points of articulation and includes one base, multiple posing rods and attachments, interchangeable closed ruVelociraptor mongoliensis, commonly known as Velociraptor, is a small, predatory dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 75 to 71 million years ago. Here's some information about this fascinating dinosaur:
Physical Characteristics: Velociraptor was a bipedal dinosaur, meaning it walked on two legs. It had a long, slender body with a tail, and its forelimbs were relatively short but had large, curved claws. Its hind limbs were well-developed, allowing it to run at high speeds. Velociraptor had a sleek, feathered appearance, making it one of the few dinosaur species with evidence of feathers.
Size: Velociraptor was not as large as often depicted in popular media. It was about 6 feet (1.8 meters) long and stood around 1.6 feet (0.5 meters) tall at the hip. It weighed around 30 pounds (15 kilograms).
Diet: Velociraptor was a carnivorous dinosaur and was likely an active predator. It mainly preyed on small to medium-sized animals, such as other dinosaurs, small mammals, and possibly early birds.
Habitat: Fossils of Velociraptor have been discovered in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and parts of China, indicating that it lived in a region with a diverse environment that included forests, river systems, and a variety of prey.
Social Behavior: Velociraptor is believed to have been a highly intelligent and social dinosaur. Fossil evidence suggests that they may have hunted in groups, cooperating to take down larger prey or strategically attack larger dinosaurs.
Fossils and Discovery: The first Velociraptor fossil was discovered in Mongolia in the 1920s by paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn. Since then, several other well-preserved fossil specimens have been found, contributing significantly to our understanding of this species.
Feathers and Modern Connection: One of the most intriguing aspects of Velociraptor is the presence of feathers. Fossils of Velociraptor and related species like Microraptor have shown clear evidence of feathers. This has provided strong support for the idea that many theropod dinosaurs, including Velociraptor, had feathers and that birds are descendants of feathered dinosaurs.nning toes, collectible trading card, unique background display insert and instruction sheet.
